Orson Bean was 91. It wasn't natural causes; a car hit him. Correction; two cars hit him.
His acting credits, by the way, included being the voice of Bilbo Baggins in 1977.
Edit: Oops, Kilroy beat me to it.

RIP Mike Hughes, doing what he loved
Mike Hughes was a man who didn't accept the prevailing wisdom, insisted thinking for himself and going to look instead of taking somebody else's word for it. He died while gathering his own evidence.
It's too bad what he was gathering evidence for - or, more realistically, against - was malarkey, but he thought for himself and that's the important part.

While it's sad he died, I wouldn't consider pulling a random idea out of god knows where, paying no attention to how many hundreds of millions of people whould have to be engaging in an utterly pointless game of deception for centuries for it to be true to involve "thinking".

Physicist Freeman Dyson -- creator of the "Dyson Sphere" concept -- age 96
I met him nearly forty years ago, when I was at Princeton; the SF/F club I was part of asked him to give a speech and we took him out to dinner after. He was a true gentleman and scholar.
